Chess to be Taught At Mattoon Library

Next week, the Mattoon Public Library will be having a program called “Introduction to Chess” from 10 to 11 a.m. Monday in the children’s area on the second floor of the library. The program will teach the basics of the game to attendees, and will also see if there is enough interest in order to establish a chess club in the fall. Children can be registered for the “Introduction to Chess” program by going online to http://mattoonlibrary.org/ or by calling the library at 217-234-2621. This is a free program and children do not need to be library card holders in order to take part.
